All content that is unrelated to The Walking Dead will be removed (this includes generic image macros and reaction images). Just because something is zombie-related doesn't automatically make it TWD-related. Likewise, just because a cast member acted in something else doesn't make it TWD related either.

Piracy

We want to keep our subreddit legit for the cast and crew that have worked with us past and future. Posts or comments linking to any type of unauthorized distribution of any branch of The Walking Dead franchise will be removed. We will not censor our IRC channel, because it is a great medium for free speech and we support that. We understand that certain users have limited access to the show, and can only obtain it through illegal means. We simply ask that you keep those discussion of piracy elsewhere, and not on this particular subreddit.

Which is why I'm on the "Beth killed and burned those two bodies, Carol is just protecting her" ban wagon. Her line she kept saying was, "We don't get to have emotions. We have to do what needs to be done." [something to this effect. I'm too lazy to look it up] Then started crying. Oh yeah bitch. It was definitely you.

Didn't she watch Otis' lady get dragged off by walkers during the siege on the farm? Like pulled right from her grip too IIRC. Couple that with her brother getting bbq'ed in the RV and she can't exactly be playing with a full deck.

Oddly enough she doesn't list her age on imdb but what we can guess is that she's roughly 26-29 years old judging by when she graduated college and all that. She has to be late 20s but she looks so young.

She's the Team Mom. She takes care of the baby, breaks up the fights, motivates the warriors/scavengers of the group to stay strong through the shit they're going through (the dialogue with Machone and Maggie are good examples) , tries her best not to show weakness, and all around one of the most emotionally stable people on the show. It also a strong contrast to how she was earlier in the series when she had an easily broken emotional state and was, rather selflessly and insensibly, trying to commit suicide.

Just because she not very action-orientated doesn't mean she's useless. The opposite is, in fact, true.

I was just saying for the sake of the post I replied to. Beth was very focused and intent on "having a job to do". On one hand you can just say she's got a hold of herself and her mental state, which is great. Or you can go in the other direction and say "What if...?".

She survives many purposes. First, she is kind of needed to keep the story going as she makes the presence of Judith logical. Rick/Carl's stories would be pretty limited if they were forced to take care of Judith. Also, she is heavily tied into the development of Maggie and Hershel. I do believe they will kill her off soon to further to plot.

That's tough to say. Her character is spectacularly different in the show. Her show-character is basically nothing like her character in the books ever was, so I'd be surprised if they used that for her.

If anything, she has taken on characteristics of Dale, Andrea and Carl from the comics.

Am I the only one who feels like she's actually very important to the group as a whole. She seems to me to be the remaining symbol of innocence they have. I would fucking hate it if they killed her off.

She has to be alive to watch the baby. Plus she doesnt go near anyone to get the sickness everyone else has because shes always with Judith. The last contact with the group we saw from her was when she hugged Daryl after he informed her of Zachs death. Other then that shes only seen with maggie or Carol, who are both illness free right now

Actually...I'm not surprised at all that she's staying alive. She is almost never on the front lines fighting walkers, and she has learned how to distance herself emotionally enough that she can do what needs to be done in an emergency. Really, she's the last person I expect to get killed.

Of course, that being said, she'll probably get shwacked in the first 5 minutes of S4E4**.
